Unbeatable Theater Production
Over the past years, theatre production has become more and more unpopular. In our world today, staying home and watching a movie is more common. People nowadays want to save money and just stay home. The technology that is now used for home theatre systems is unbeatable. Theatre and most performing arts will struggle because of the technology our world is improving on every day. The technology we have today could potentially end all theatre and performing arts. If people are not attending plays, musicals, or concerts then they may have to be shut down because of the lack of income. If people do not attend then why would the show go on? I still believe that no matter what, there will always be a crowd at theatre productions or other performing

    When you go to a movie theater you see all kinds of different people. Whether or not it females or males, young or old, American or non-American. There are different perspectives in which the movie will be seen. I think a good example would be the movie 2012. It is a science fiction disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich and distributed by Columbia Pictures. 2012 was a global film that all people were interested to see. This movie came out in 2009 and when it was in the making in 2008, all of my friends were already talking about the movie but what really surprised me were the reasons that they were going to see the movie for. Benjamin Trujillo’s, a family friend, reason to go see the movie was so that his wife and kids can see the way the world is going to end if they don’t behave according to the bible. Benjamin grew up as a very potent Christian and his wife was not that very religious so therefore he…

    Try to imagine if you will a society completely oblivious to technology or what the future will hold? Imagine society that was forced to work on the basis of innovation and create a pathway for the future to follow in. These are the societies to whom we as drama students owe all credit to. Without their crucial implementations to the world of theatre, we would not have made it thus far.…

    OPRF high school is brimming with diverse cliques, groups, and clubs. But one particular cohort seems to stand out from the rest. The theatre department, overseen by Michelle Bayer, can be described as a whirlwind of activity, with 10 official productions each year. My group researched it for the education unit, but the majority of them were unfamiliar with the activity, and I felt the overall presentation was unrepresentative of what high school theatre is. It can be characterized, primarily, by an abundance of drama, both in the acting sense, and in the social sense. Theatre kids are infamous for their diva-like attitudes, and occasional entitlement. I had the opportunity to observe these behaviors up close and personal with my shows I participated in this year.…

    There are several ways to portray a group of people and have the public believe it. Probably the most influential way to affect a person’s view on a certain group of people would be through film. Over the course of the past one hundred years, American film has subjected different groups of people to stereotyping, biased portrayals, and racism. However, these unfortunate stereotypes and the racism in film are quite covert to the public, and they tend to simply believe what they see in their favorite movies. Although there are several groups of people one can think of that have been stereotyped or attacked in some way in American film, there are a few specific groups that are prime examples of being victims to the biased portrayals in American film. These groups consist of women, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, and gays and lesbians. These groups have all been wrongly viewed by the nation’s public largely in part because of their portrayal in American film.…

    Looking at the West End from a quantitative viewpoint it is hard to see why there is speculation over its future, total revenues rose from 512m in 2010 to 528m(2) in 2011 a 4% increase. It was stated in the article in question that, “Audiences, in spite of recession and the cold snap, also held steady at 14.1 million”(4) Which the Society of London Theatre Box office data report shows us this is the first in 4 years where a record high has not been set (5). Indicating that although fallen slightly demand is still high, which provides a logical reason for the theatre owners such as Cameron Macintosh and others to put on musical productions as they can have a long life in the West End such as Le Miserable that is in its 27th year of running (6) Another in its 10th year at the Dominion Theatre is ‘We Will Rock You’ which I went to see the other night and was surprised at the theatres 90% approx. capacity on a Monday night, perhaps show this owes its longevity and success to its…

    Riots broke out in many theatres due to plays that didn’t follow neoclassical rules or the preference for one actor over another. The Hernani Riots were caused by the violation of neoclassical rules, they were between the traditionalists and the romantics and lasted 54 nights in which the audience members shouted, rioted, and fought. (McCraken, 2/5) Luckily this theatrical change did not carry on into the modern theatre world, people are a lot less aggressive about their theatrical…

    Speaking at the August 1992 Republican National Convention, Patrick Buchanan uses various forms of compelling language to motivate his “Buchanan Brigade” and the other convention attendees to support George Bush in the upcoming November Presidential election. “I do believe deep in my heart that the right place for us to be now, in this presidential campaign, is right beside George Bush. This Party is my home. This Party is our home and we've got to come home to it. And don't let anyone tell you any different,” (Buchanan 4). Patrick Buchanan undeniably pledges his wholehearted Republican Party support for Presidential candidate George Bush through his sarcastic, declarative tone critical of the opposing Clinton administration, by utilizing powerful repetition, and through asking persuasive rhetorical questions.…

    I read an article in an old issue of "Art in America" about the lack of interest many young Americans show toward art in recent years. The article went on to explain how museum attendance was down in most museums compared to 20 years ago. Their main reasoning for this was the basic arguments of the advances in other forms of technology such as Television and computers that draw the attention of young ones away from traditional arts such as museums and live plays. The article went on to say that plays have become more for the highly sophisticated and less for the average person. The average person views a live play as any normal television show and doesn't recognize the culture aspect attached to it. (Art in America, "Fading Culture" 1991, 12-14)…

    Gay and Lesbian themes were introduced into the theater before the 1960s. Long before homosexual characters were seen in American plays on a regular basis, there were isolated incidents when a gay or lesbian appeared in the plot; they were called freaks when doing so. Many people were often offended by homosexuality. Cross dressing was used in performances that raised concerns about sexual and gender roles: men dressed in drag and women wore men clothing. Festivals were used to educate and entertain audiences. The theater festival was introduced to spread awareness on issues, themes, and problems that deals with gay and lesbian lifestyles in the theater.…
